MONET

The Monet jewelry brand is very popular in the vintage costume jewelry market. It specialized in creating more affordable, high-end accessories, making it a top choice among fashion enthusiasts. The company was founded by brothers Jay and Michael Chernow as Monocrafts and became Monet in 1937 (focusing exclusively on costume jewelry). This was a direct result of the economic crisis of the 1920s, when women could no longer afford expensive jewelry and began buying costume jewelry.

Everyone knows that jewelry in the 1980s was bold and colorful, and people wanted to stand out with their style, and Monet took note of that. That's why most of Monet's jewelry pieces from the 1980s focused on metal design, making each piece bold and unique.
